LOGAN. Utah, October "a, 1887.

A FEW DAYS ago q very disgraceful
disturbance occurred at Smithfield. 1t
happened on Sunday and the following
Monday night, and the participants
were crowd of hoodlums. There re-
sides in Smithfeld quiet and inoffen-
sive gentleman named G. w. Gustafsen.
On the nights above referred to these
roughs went to Mr.. Gustafsen's house
and engaged in various exploits of q
disgraceful nature. They shot MIR. G. g
dog. shot through one of the doors of
his house, threw rocks at the house and
otherwise disturbed the quiet of the
neighborhood. Not content with car
rying on in this manner, they did not
leave his premises without stealing

tent of the law.

NEW SEA SERPENT.
An Account of Mysterious Cre8tul
Seen on the African Coast.

An Account of Mysterious Creature
Seen on the African Coast.
Count Joachim Pfeil, the German
African explorer, who has just left
Germany as Governor-General of the
Somali country, gives the following
account of mysterious creature seen
on the coast of the Ulanga district:
"We often saw an animal in the water
which we first believed to be a serpent
from it's movements, and from the fact
that only now and then it appeared on
the surface for few seconds. Once,
when we shot at it, we were surprised
to see it rise out of the water and
f1y away. Afterwards we succeed
ed in obtaining one of the curious
creatures. 1t was about the size OF a
large tame duck, with black plumage
and metallic luster. On its wings we
noticed few very light yellow feath-
ers. The neck was very long and thin,
and ended in a long, pointed beak. at
the edge of which were two rows OF
sharp teeth. At first sight no head
was visible, and the neck appeared
only to end in beak. The whole
body of the bird is under water while
swimming, only the long neck was
seen. If it was frightened it disap-
peared altogether under the water, or
flew rapidly away. Another peculiar
ity which we noticed was that when
the bird had left the water it lay down
on bush with outstretched wings TO
get dry. The flesh of this creature has
an unpleasant, oily flavor. Pail Mall

The president asked if they would not
like their children to go to school after
the twelfth year.
'No.". replied the workman, sit is
not possible for the parents to wait
until long term of school is ended.
as the family need the wages of the
elder children. We have not only to
keep our children but also our old peo-
pie. After his fiftieth year a man can
earn little in the pits, and is usually
dismissed.
This speaker, whom the workers
were particularly anxious to have
examined, as he Is in good repute both
as workman and an orator. told
the commissioners that the aver
age weekly wages of the head OF a
household in full work is from twelve
to fourteen francs. 81 need not say
that family can not live upon that;
the wife must work when she can, the
children as soon as they can"
A married woman who had been a
worker in a coal pit, said: Il am the
mother of six children. We are very
poor, but I would rather starve than
one of my girls should go to work in
the pits. The overseers use all means
in their power to ruin the girls. !"
When asked what wages her family
earned, she replied that her husband
had thirteen francs week, and one OF
her sons eighty confines. To the ques-
ton as to the food of the family, she
said: every Sunday and Thursday
buy pound of meat; on other days
we live on bread and potatoes. -

An Indian City in Pink.

We are astonished and highly pleased
with a view of an entire city in pink
the oldest and at the same time one of
the most pleasing sights imaginable.
In front of us was perfectly smooth
street 10 feet wide and two, miles long,
running straight away to a gate at the
other end, and bordered on each side
by many colored palaces and dwell
ings, with columns and towers, some
with and some without balconies, but
all of a delicate rose-red color, relieved
here and there with figures or strips Of
white. Never had I seen anything of
the kind before, and the effect was GER
tainly beautiful. Well does Jeypore
deserve its appellation of .sThe Beauti-
full City Of India When the back
ground was formed of the fortified hills
about the town this color was . light
red. but when only the clear blue sky
was in the background it became a
delicate pink. giving one the impress

A married woman said: 1.-The week
before last my husband earned thirteen
francs. He had never earned larger
sum in week. 1t is impossible for us
to live upon such. a wage. When l

whole wage is spent; it is not enough
to cover rent and clothing"

way by the overseers.
The president asked each of them:
"What nourishment do you havep Do
you often take meat?"
One girl replied: Three months ago
we had some meat on our table; Ihave
never tasted any SINCE Another said:

PERSONAL SUPERIORITY.
The Un wisdom of Self-Praise as Suggested
By Solomon.

The On wisdom of Self-Praise as Suggested
BY Solomon.
One sign of personal superiority is a
lack of any consciousness of personal
superiority. He who says that he is
more of man than his immediate fell
lows is pretty sure to provoke others
to differ with him at that point In
deed, he is not likely to be alone in his
opinion, so far. 1t is much the same
in the matter of race, or sex, as in that
of other contrasts. The man who in
sists that he is superior to another
man because he belongs to race
which is superior to that mans makes
point against his race superiority,
instead of for it, to begin with. The
other man would, again, only harm his
case by making a counter claim.
It is always better to evidence superior
ity without claiming it than to claim
superiority without evidencing it. So,
again, if man boldly claims his
superiority to woman because he is a
man, he proves that he is not manly,
just as surely as a woman proves that
she is not womanly il she boldly claims
superiority over man on the score OF
her sex. Solomon gave one proof OF
his superiority in wisdom when he sug-
gested the unwisdom of self-praise.
LET another man praise thee" he
said, s.and not thine own mouth; .
stranger, and not thine own lips. "
Superiority is .hopelessly lost as soon
as it is foundry its owner-S.-S.
Times.
